What: This Memorial Day weekend, Hooters Casino and Hotel of Las Vegas will host a Pool Side BBQ on Sunday, May 26 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. to raise money for the Hooters for Heroes campaign, benefiting the Green Beret Foundation. The Pool Side BBQ features all-you-can-eat cookout with hot dogs and hamburgers and bottomless beer, all for $25 per ticket. For every BBQ ticket sold, $5 goes to Hooters for Heroes.

Hooters Girls will also host a car wash on Monday, May 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations will be accepted for each wash, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting Hooters for Heroes.
